Good2bhere. You're quite correct, bonus shares should be purchased on the open market and charged to the balance sheet rather than printing new ones resulting to further share dilution for shareholders.

With a no deal Brexit scenario now firmly back on the table, Lloyds share price is now almost certainly destined to revist the 50s again, a temporary halt to the share buyback programme should be considered until there is a clear indication the Brexit endgame is in sight and the uncertainty is removed and a final outcome to Brexit is successfully concluded.

DAVB. My wife keeps telling me all the time we should be spending my dividend payments on luxury holidays.

Boomer. Agree UK is still a major leading world player in industrial design and technological innovation however if post - Brexit UK manufacturing is to survive and prosper they must be guaranteed level playing field to trade on.

The WTO is not a democratic institution and only serves in the interests of multinational companies whose corrupt rules and trading policies are written by them to benefit themselves.

Grayling Agree its a very cruel cold world today for the younger generation living and working in the UK, and virtually impossible for many of them to climb onto the housing ladder.

Boomer more to the point what will the UK be producing and subsidising in our new brave post Brexit world when we are trading and competing against the likes of China and other emerging economies of Asia and Africa sorely under corrupt WTO rules.

Don't feel to sorry for celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, whose net personal wealth is estimated at over £150 million pounds.

Looks like another wash, rinse and repeat day again for the Metro Bank share price.

The current state of the UK mortgage market is not looking positive for Lloyds. Tesco Bank is the latest UK lender to exit the UK mortgage market due to intense competition and falling profit margins.

HSBC most likely candidate to purchase Tesco's existing mortgage loan book.

Makes no sense paying out quarterly dividends for such a low payout figure not to mention the cost of distributing the dividends four times a year to 2.4 million shareholders, unless the bank have plans to consolidate the shares at a future date.

Yes. Ongoing shareholder dilution is a major issue for the current and previous share buyback programme. At the close of business on 18th March 2019 they were outstanding staff options and awards of 1.332.391.569 ordinary shares which represented 1.87% of the total issued share capital of the bank.

BoomerBower, Another sad chapter in the steady decline and eventual extinction of our once proud smokestack industries in the UK.

Grayling. There are a lot more deep - seated problems with this company than just Brexit related issues. The future for the company is not looking good.

Another prolific morning session trading in Metro Bank shares, maybe time now to give the shares a wide birth until the £350 million share placing has been completed.

The Vodafone dividend cut uncertainty is now out of the way, it may be worth investors taking a look at the shares, despite the cut to the dividend, the shares are still yielding a fairly attractive dividend and offer future potential upside to today's current share price.

No winners in the " gig " economy as evermore more young people are facing serious financial troubles and uncertainty about their future employment prospects, and Brexit threatens to turn the UK into an off-shore bargin basement economy.

Ample rewards on offer today, for those traders who managed to sucessfully swing trade the 6.95 % intraday Metro Bank share price again.

Longtimeinvestor. Day traders have made a small fortune swing trading and shorting Metro Bank shares.

Financial markets operate on uncertainty and fear, out of every trouble arise new investing opportunities.

Anyone for Metro Bank. ?

A precurser for the next General Election which is now all but inevitable, as pro - Brexit and pro - EU voters both express their anger at the country's political impasse.

LEVIS. Sorry i use a subscription only level 2 trading market data and research platform that prevents me from forwarding information data to third parties There are some useful free websites out there you could use to research key economic and company data indicators like the one Asperger suggested. Although most of them are a little out of date and do not provide real - time data analysis.

Boomer currently stands at. PEG 0.45. DPS Growth 5.25 %

Investors must take more notice of the PEG ratio to determine a stock's value, when factoring in Lloyds expected future earnings growth, it will provide investors with a more complete picture of the true value of the bank, rather than simply relying on the P/E ratio figure.

Even more startling is Ocado's market capitalisation is almost more than high street giants Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury combined. The online grocery delivery doorstep provider will not make a profit until 2020 and is unlikely to pay a dividend for the foreseeable future.

Shareholder dilution on a epic scale. Hardly surprising institional investors are giving this share a wide birth. Serious questions need to be asked at next weeks AGM meeting.
